People For Puget Sound is partnering with the Port of Everett to host a habitat restoration work party at the Union Slough Wetlands Restoration site in Everett.  Volunteers have been working at this 34-acre salt marsh site to create healthy habitat for local wildlife like birds and salmon.  We currently need help removing invasive weeds like scotch broom and blackberry to prep the site for planting native trees in the fall and winter months. Please join us in our effort to restore Puget Sound’s native ecosystems!   

WHERE: Union Slough Wetlands Restoration site in Everett [just north of Everett off east side of Hwy 529 at 37th St (at Biringer Farms)]  
WHEN: Saturday, September 26th, 2009, work party from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.   

VIDEO/PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES: Unique urban, river delta restoration site. Volunteers restoring native ecosystems in their neighborhoods, learning about the issues threatening the local ecosystem and what volunteers are doing to help protect and Save our Sound.   

WHY: This event is one of many taking place all over the Sound this fall through People For Puget Sound, a citizens group that inspires people to take action and clean up Puget Sound. We provide everyday people with opportunities that combine fun with results that make the Sound a healthier place for us all to enjoy.
